Studio Marcus Kraft has once again designed a striking campaign for the popular festival "Zürcher Theater Spektakel" This event is back in its usual format this year. The central elements are surreal illustrations by Maïté Marque.

This year, top-class theatre, dance and performance performances from all continents of the world can be experienced on more than a dozen stages. After two reduced editions due to the pandemic, the highly successful festival is back in its usual format.

They are pleased to be able to present an extensive programme this year, with artists from all over the world returning. With Meg Stuart and Ragnar Kjartansson, we have succeeded in attracting two international stars to develop site-specific projects for Zurich, whose world premieres we are eagerly awaiting, says artistic director Matthias von Hartz.

Paris-based illustrator Maïté Marque has translated images of productions from the festival programme into her visual language, which is characterised by bold colours in sometimes unconventional combinations. This is no coincidence. Marque picks up the colour palettes from back then in her current work as an illustrator and graphic designer, which is evident in her distinctive style and of course in this years festival appearance.

The visuals created by Maïté Marque are a perfect fit for the Zürcher Theater Spektakel: her incredible sense of colour and form, coupled with her unique drawing style, make the illustrators surreal work truly distinctive, says art director and designer Marcus Kraft.
